Also fixes the usage statement for the binary to use the correct terms (provider and geom name, rather than dev and prov, which is incorrect in the latter case)

partitions of types other than "freebsd-boot" (in particular, "efi").
This allows the removal of some nasty hacks for supporting PowerPC systems,
in particular aliasing freebsd-boot to apple-boot on APM and an IBM-specific
code on MBR.
This changes the installer to use the correct names, which also breaks a
degeneracy in the meaning of "freebsd-boot" that allows the addition
of support for some newer IBM systems that can boot from GPT in addition to
MBR. Since I have no idea how to detect which those systems are, leave
the default on IBM PPC systems as MBR for now.
This partitioning scheme is used in DragonFlyBSD. It is similar to
BSD disklabel, but has the following improvements:
* metadata has own dedicated place and isn't accessible through partitions;
* all offsets are 64-bit;
* supports 16 partitions by default (has reserved place for more);
* has reserved place for backup label (but not yet implemented);
* has UUIDs for partitions and partition types;

and finish the job. ncurses is now the only Makefile in the tree that
uses it since it wasn't a simple mechanical change, and will be
addressed in a future commit.
This fixes the problem, when gmirror starts again just after stop.
The problem occurs when gmirror's component has geom label with equal size.
E.g. gpt and gptid have the same size as partition, diskid has the same
size as entire disk. When gmirror's geom has been destroyed, glabel
creates its providers and this initiate retaste.
Now "gmirror destroy" command is available. It destroys geom and also
erases gmirror's metadata.

Now it is easy to expand the size of the mirror when all its components
are replaced. Also add g_resize method to geom_mirror class. It will write
updated metadata to new last sector, when parent provider is resized.

Always validate the return of find_geomcfg(). It could be NULL, for
example when the geom is withering.
